Fans to decide theme for upcoming 'Downs After Dark' program

Churchill Downs Racetrack has unveiled fashion and decor themes for two of its trio of "Downs After Dark" night racing celebrations scheduled for the final three Saturdays in June, and is turning to its fans to choose the theme for the third.

Fans will determine the theme of the second of the remaining sessions of entertainment and racing under the lights on Saturday, June 22, by choosing from a roster of three possible options listed on the track's Facebook page (Facebook.com/ChurchillDowns).

Voting on that "Downs After Dark" theme will continue through 3 p.m. (EDT) on May 31.

Themes already set for the upcoming �Downs After Dark� celebrations include:

Saturday, June 15: "The White Party" is one of the most successful night racing themes and returns for a third consecutive year. The "all things white" fashion theme will support a stellar racing program that features four stakes races headed by the $500,000 Stephen Foster Handicap, a Grade 1 race for older horses that is a "Win and You're In" race for the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic.

Saturday, June 29: "Star-Spangled Night" strikes a patriotic theme for the final Saturday and next-to-last racing day of the Spring Meet, and the weekend prior to the celebration of Independence Day.

In determining the theme for the June 22 "Downs After Dark" program, fans will chose from a list of three possible themes:

Totally Awesome 80's

Boots, Brew and BBQ

The Beach Ball

Fans can view details of each of the potential night racing themes at www.ChurchillDowns.com.
